Agawam City Council rejects voter ID resolution by thin margin Updated 3:35 PM; AGAWAM By the thinnest possible margin, city councilors this week rejected a call for more stringent voter identification laws. The council voted 6-5 on Monday against a resolution that would have petitioned the state Legislature to require voters to produce proof of identity and return to the pre-pandemic rules that allowed mail-in voting only in cases of necessity for medical, religious or travel reasons. “I really don’t think there is a big problem in the state of Massachusetts, when it comes to elections,” said Councilor Paul Cavallo, who voted against the resolution after having previously described himself as undecided. In local elections, he said, “I don’t think there has ever been any fraud or corruption involved.” ....
Agawam to set 60-cent charging fee for electric vehicles Updated Mar 23, 2021; AGAWAM Electric vehicle owners are going to have to pay for their own power, the City Council voted on Monday. What they’ll be buying when they use one of the town’s seven public charging stations is the electricity only, however, not network or administration fees.

The town has operated free charging stations since December 2019, with taxpayers footing the bill. ....
‘Embarrassed’ council gives Agawam mayor a bigger raise Updated Jan 13, 2021; AGAWAM The people want a better-paid mayor, city councilors said Monday before voting to increase the salary to $110,000.

In the weeks since then, however, they’ve heard from constituents who thought they should have endorsed the full $130,000 requested by Mayor William Sapelli. “I did also talk to some people who came up to me and said they were embarrassed by the amount of money this council was going to give him,” said Councilor Paul Cavallo. ....
Agawam Mayor William Sapelli proposes $45K mayoral pay hike, longer term Updated Dec 15, 2020; AGAWAM Mayor William Sapelli says a proposed $45,000 pay hike isn’t for him, it’s for the office. “I may not run in 2022. I may run and lose. There’s no guarantee,” Sapelli said this week. “If you don’t offer a term and salary that’s commensurate with the responsibilities, … you’re not going to get somebody who’s going to take a chance of leaving a business that they’re running.” Sapelli is proposing that the mayor’s salary increase from $85,000 to $130,000, effective in 2022. He is also asking that the term of office be raised from two years to four. ....
